Not as much support down there as he'd hoped!

I hate to see further violence, but I have to admit relief at seeing that residents of the south of Kyrgyzstan are not flocking to the Bakiev banner as he had obviously hoped they would. This morning in the southern city of Osh (see my pics), Bakiev had scheduled a rally to fire up his supporters... and ended up being fired at. No one was injured, although Bakiev was rapidly evacuated. From the video below and pictures of the evacuation, it would seem he is headed back to the northern part of the country. I could be wrong... but isn't that the Osh-Bishkek highway??? (According to eurasianet, he's gone back to his home village of Teyit, where he's been since fleeing Bishkek.... and according to Russia Today, he's left for Kazakhstan.) Anyway, watch the video.

The title of this post sounds like you're talking about a pair of underwear! Was that intentional?
